dudes,

its not about "it will go around the world anyway so why......"
I am in Ireland, and watch the news from Italy every day. England and Ireland are next in line for the biggy.
today in Italy, who have been on lock-down for two weeks already.
5000 new cases in one day
790 deaths in one day
the army are overloaded with corpses on their way to the crem.
take it seriously.
Italy has the best medical care in Europe, Ireland the worst.
it is doubling here every three days.
that means that if you hospital system is at 50 percent one day, in three days it will be overloaded.

it is not about accepting it and riding it out, it is about spread the curve spike out so the medical system can cope over a longer period of time.

please stay safe and isolate.

best form of transport is the motorcycle, transport AND isolation!.

cheers folks

Turning Wrenches / dt400mx 1977/78 wiring
July 23, 2019, 11:01:37 AM
Good day folks,

it has been a while but now I am back into building.

I have engines completed for a couple of projects, one dt250mx, one dt400 mx. question is this.

I have the stators for both, they are cdi type and that is all I have. I plan to wire them with the minimal amount of wiring necessary to make them run. I  have access to a couple of cdi black boxes and have coils etc, but how to wire? do I need a battery or will they run without?

does anyone have a pointer to a colour wiring diagram for the above models, I am assuming they are roughly the same?

any advice will be much appreciated.

cheers
